as i lay me down to sleep (on a bed of paperwork)
08 February 2006

I know I have a tendency to make things sound and look pretty. To tie everything in a nice, neat bow. Perfect little packages. But that's not life. Life is sometimes ugly and messy, stressful and crazed. Wedding planning can be overwhelming. Working from home can get lonely. Transitions, like the ones I am going through, can be painful and awkward and exhausting.

So why don't I write about it? Because I don't feel like it. Because I like to keep things to myself and those close to me. Because sometimes I do start to write about it, but as I write, I process, and as I process, I start to feel better, and the paragraphs I'd written are already outdated.

So why am I bothering to write about it now? I haven't the slightest clue. It's 4:30 in the afternoon and I am tired of thinking about the wedding for today and I want to take a nap but there's a pile of papers on my bed that should be sorted first. I knew I wanted to update my site, but I had no idea what I was going to say. This is what came out.

Wow. I can so relate to this. I've been writing from a similar place lately.

I love your honesty...sometimes what we need to do is simply blurt things out in their own way.
